BELT REPLACEMENT
(Refer to Fig. 2)
Disconnect electric power and loosen motor clamping
bolts. Slide motor towards pump. If the compressor has
a totally enclosed belt guard, remove it. Remove and
replace belt(s). Hold motor against belts when
ing so the belt(s) have no more than
in. (13 mm)
total play. Make certain motor is square to belts. Reinstall
guard and turn on power.
NOTE: Sometimes new belts stretch excessively after
being installed. Recheck belt tension after one
week as stated in BELTS paragraph of MAIN-
TENANCE section.
MOTOR REPLACEMENT
Before replacing motor, see NOISY MOTOR and
WON’T START paragraphs in TROUBLESHOOTING
section. If motor is defective, disconnect power and
replace. Use motor of identical type, hp, voltage, speed,
and frame when reinstalling motor. Reset belt tension,
see BELTS paragraph in MAINTENANCE section.
CAUTION
Many motors are dual voltage and/or reversible.
Check motor’s internal wiring against diagram on
motor or inside of wiring cover plate for proper
connections for voltage being used and/or rotation.
The compressor will pump air if rotated backwards
but will not cool properly.
